Following an article by the The New York Post looking at WWE’s ratings decline titled “Is WWE down for the count?,” WWE’s broadcasting partner has issued a statement in defense of the company. A rep for NBC/Universal issued the following statement to the outlet:

“WWE programming delivers one of the most massive live audiences in cable on a weekly basis and is consistently a top performer for our networks.”

It’s worth noting that the Post article did state that despite the fact that ratings are down, WWE’s stock is up 41% year-to-year.
